Day 2 of my 30-day blog challenge, read day one: 30-day blog challenge Tips on starting a free blog for your business A friend of mine asked me Friday about what it costs to start a blog. The short answer is that it’s free, but not really. I’ve previously tackled the…
30 days of blogging, beginning now. I’m a big believer of blogging, and I recommend custom content for every one of my friends when they ask what tools best benefit their small businesses. What 30 days can do If we’ve learned anything from Morgan Spurlock, it’s how much things can change…
I’ll be honest (it’s quite stress-relieving); when the pregnancy results came in for my second child I immediately yearned for the day my two kids could play together.
